Winter '15 Season
The goal of this campaign is to paint our models and show off our progress in an attempt to keep a steady and sustainable pace of painting.
Participants (and observers) are encouraged to share Work In Progress (WIP) pictures and divulge their techniques and recipes for their works.
High amounts of detail and creativity are encouraged, but not required for participation.
To enter:
- Post in the season's thread with your entry. Both an unpainted (with a timestamp) and finished picture of the entry.
The theme of this season is: Heavy Weapons!
Requirements:
- Must have one of the following weapons (or their variations):
- HMG
- Missile Launcher
- Spitfire
- Sniper Rifle
- HRMC
- MK12
- DEP
- Feuerbach
- Flammenspeer
- Heavy Rocket Launcher (heavy specific)
- Heavy Shotgun (heavy specific)
- Katyusha
- Uragan
- Molotok
That's it! Remember that the model MUST be holding one of the heavy weapons. Please keep that in mind.
In the case of a partial profile that qualifies, all models of that profile must be submitted. Profiles such as the Scarface and Cordelia of Mercenaries will require both the "Weapon" profile model and the "non-weapon" profile model (such as Cordelia alongside Scarface).
They clear the way and put the fear in your opponents! Let's show them what for!
That's it!
At the end of each Season (this one ending on November 30th at 23:59:59 UTC), no more submissions will be accepted and the season's submissions will be compiled together. The following month, a poll thread will allow users to vote for which models they most like! There is no strict criteria on what you are casting your vote for! What this means is that users can vote on the "Most Improved", "Best Painted", "Most Interesting", "Most Ambitious", "Most Helpful", "Most Friendly", "Most Involved", "Most Funny", etc.! This form of voting doesn't prevent amateur or new painters from taking part. I know I'll always be voting for those that try their hardest. You'll also have multiple votes, so no worrying about which entries to pick! Votes are changeable at any time during the voting month. Voting for this season will end on December 31st at 23:59:59 UTC.
To vote:
- View the appropriate thread for the month that you wish to vote for.
- View ALL entries for that month in the provided Imgur album (that will be accessible in the top post).
- Select your vote(s) from the Poll in the thread.
You're done!
Note: it's possible that the number of entries will require multiple poll threads. In this case, please view all threads.
Prizes!
But wait! There's more!
For each season, there will be 3 winners that will be featured.
Second and Third places will receive commemorative patches and feature in a blog post.
First place will receive the same prizes as Second and Third, as well as some Vallejo paints to reward their artistry.
Note to previous season winners: we're still working out the kinks on prize support and how to handle distribution. Sorry for the wait. We appreciate your understanding.
Best of luck!
If you have any questions, post 'em below and I'll respond in the thread.
